In the 5pm incident, authorities said the south-bound trailer lorry was said to have swerved into the opposite lane and crashed head-on into a Proton Preve and a Proton Waja, the New Straits Times reported.

The lorry then spun and slammed into the Alza before coming to a halt.

The Nilai Fire and Rescue Department took about half an hour to extricate the two victims who were trapped inside their vehicle.

Three other people from the other two vehicles were injured in the accident.

All the injured victims were rushed to the Tuanku Ja’afar Hospital (TJH) in Seremban for treatment.
